jackofallgeeks | Is It Better To Have Loved And Lost,

Or To Have Never Loved At All?

This is something I've never understood. A female friend of mine was recently commenting on a relationship that she'd recently been in. Over now, of course. But she said that the other day, she had really missed it all - the relationship, the person, all of it.

What gets me, is she said she was working back up to generally not caring about it. I don't mean to single my friend out (as this is not the first or last time I'll hear a girl comment as such), but my question is - why do girls do this? I mean, look at the situation. You have a relationship with someone, and I would assume it would mean something, right? But, then it ends, and almost across the board, it seems girls try to forget it ever happened. Apparently, they try to build up a wall of indifference, and it just doesn't make any sense to me. I should expect that if I had a relationship that ended, badly or no, I would want to remember the good that there WAS, rather than killing everything I'd ever felt.

::Shrugs:: I donno, it's a rather foreign concept to me. Any opinions?
